| - Go, pho, go! Mmmmmmm...definitely a YUM. I had heard from others that a new pho restaurant had opened, so I grabbed some coworkers and off we went to Pho 99.
What a convenient location. Hidden away in Asian Town Plaza- it sits right outside the Asia Food Co grocery store. Why, how convenient- you can grocery shop and grab dinner! Glorious.
The broth at Pho 99 is quite good. It's lighter than the other pho places in CLE, and it's super flavorful...and just good. Nice and light- and super flavorful. They had three specials of the day, and I and one of my coworkers ordered the first two specials: the banh mi sandwich and hu tieu nam vang.
The hu tieu nam vang was soooo good. It came with the clear rice noodles (a little thicker than the thin Chinese clear noodles), squid, shrimp, and bbq pork...and that broth. Man, that broth was good. Usually, I don't even finish the broth because most broths are filled with MSG and what not...but not at Pho 99! Yay!! Finally. The banh mi was also really good as well.
My other coworkers ordered the #1: pho with all the different types of meat. I tried the broth of theirs....and yes, once again, it was good. The sizes were a good size- not too big, not too small. So definitely a go for the pho! We did try the spring and summer rolls beforehand as well...I wasn't too big of a fan of the summer roll, but they liked it.
And an added plus...they had an avocado drink!!! MMMMMM. I had first tried an avocado drink through my Indonesian friend....and loved it....and once I saw it on the menu for Pho 99, I just HAD to try it...and yes, once again it was good. mmmm.
Definitely a go. Go, Pho 99, go!
